Medical Foster Homes: Can the Adult Foster Care Model Substitute for Nursing Home Care?

Abstract: MFHs served a distinct subset of veterans with levels of comorbidity and frailty similar to those of veterans cared for in CLCs and CNHs at costs that were comparable to or lower than those of the VHA. Propensity-matched comparisons will be necessary to confirm these findings.

“…The propensity score was estimated using a logistic regression in a stepwise iterative fashion . Initial covariate selection for the propensity score model was based on prior research and clinical knowledge about factors that lead to selection of MFH and CNH . Next, other covariates, as well as quadratic and interaction terms, were selected based on likelihood ratio testing.…”

“…Up to three Veterans who cannot live independently because of physical or mental disabilities (these eligibility criteria are identical for CNH Veterans) live in each MFH. These Veterans are unable to participate in the traditional HBPC program because they cannot care for themselves at home and do not have a familial caregiver to provide 24‐7 care …”
